Police: Man robs 2 NCCo. banks

State police are searching for a man who they say robbed a Christiana bank last week, as well as a bank near New Castle.

Troopers were called at about 1:05 p.m. to the Citizens Bank inside the Acme at University Plaza Shopping Center for a man demanding money from a teller, Master. Cpl. Jeffrey R. Hale said.

The man approached a teller and presented him with a note demanding cash and implying that he was armed with a weapon, Hale said.

The teller complied and turned over an undisclosed amount of money before the man fled the bank, Hale said. No weapon was ever displayed, he added.

The man is described as white, 40-50 years old, about 5-feet-5-inches to 5-feet-7-inches tall and about 160-180 pounds. He had gray hair and wore a gray and black sweat jacket with a black T-shirt underneath, gray pants, white sneakers and glasses.

Anyone with information should call Detective Anthony Tenebruso at Troop 2, Glasgow, at (302) 365-8435. Tips may also be provided to Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333, at tipsubmit.com or by texting to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword DSP.
